14% sequential revenue growth is not very impressive for an Internet retail sales company. Cash is vanishing pretty quickly.... Last Q "Cash + Short Term Investments = ~$47 million" This Q "Cash + Short Term Invesments = ~$40 million" So....it looks like they are bankrupt in about 8-10 more quarters, assuming this burn rate slowly decreases. I don't have any position, buy I'd recommend exiting this turkey on any Xmas expectations runup. You can expect all the Internet stocks that sell products to the public to go ape sometime in November, when all the analysts start screaming about "the biggest e-commerce Xmas ever!!!"

I don't follow this every day, but it seems you are never right.. at least no one seems to listen to you. You must get paid a lot to be humiliated so and stick around..

Judi how about you do some comparing? First, compare this quarter to last quarter.... This Quarter ------------ 8.4 Million (loss) % 36.7 Million (sales) = 23% of sales Last Quarter ------------ 8.9 Million (loss) % 32.7 Million (sales) = 27% of sales So that looks like a big improvement to me....also look at the loss....down from last quarter....that looks good too! Six Months 99 ------------- 17.2 Million (loss) % 69.3 Million (sales) = 25% of sales Six Months 98 ------------- 9.8 Million (loss) % 28.6 Million (sales) = 34% of sales Wow....look at the Six month comparison! Looks even better there....and you can bet that the quarter coming up...ending 11/30...and the sales after that.....ending 2/00 (including december and january holiday sales) will continue to improve the loss as-a-percent of sales figures.....along with a great improvement in total sales for the fiscal year. Outpost.com has a great chance of hitting 200 Million in sales for this year. Now compare COOL's figures from above with those "so called" industry leaders.....COOL's look better here too. AMZN ---- After-Tax Income (ttm) -$291.3M Sales (ttm) $1.01B Profit Margin (ttm) -29% EGGS ---- After-Tax Income (ttm) -$39.4M Sales (ttm) $159.8M Profit Margin (ttm) -25% BYND ---- After-Tax Income (ttm) -$76.3M Sales (ttm) $68.3M Profit Margin (ttm) -112% DRIV ---- After-Tax Income (ttm) -$20.5M Sales (ttm) $42.7M Profit Margin (ttm) -48% I think cool has one of the best chances of surviving in the group....besides AMZN of course...which will live forever.
